Mission Impossible

Chapter 6: Sparks Fly

"Ah, Mr. Bolton and Miss Evans. It seems that you two will be partners." Mrs. Cromwell announced. Both Kelsi and Ryan smiled. "I suggest you two should get to work." Mrs. Cromwell told Sharpay and Troy.

"Yes Mrs. Cromwell." Both Sharpay and Troy said. Mrs. Cromwell walked to her desk, leaving Sharpay and Troy alone.

"So, I guess we should start to think about what we should do for our project." Troy suggested.

"Don't tell me what to do." Sharpay snapped. Troy just rolled his eyes. Sharpay noticed. "And don't roll your eyes at me either."

"Listen Sharpay. We both don't want to work with each other, but we have no choice." Troy said.

"You could say that again." Sharpay muttered. So for the rest of the class, the two kept on bickering and disagreeing with everything. "

"That is a stupid idea!" Sharpay shouted.

"Well testing which lipstick last the longest is not such a great one either." Troy retorted. Sharpay slammed her head on the desk.

"I am so gonna fail." Sharpay mumbled. Troy grabbed Sharpay's fragile hands.

"Listen Sharpay. I know that we can do good on this project, if we work together and get along." Troy explained. Sharpay stayed silent.

"How about we go to your house, and do our project there?" Troy suggested.

"Okay." Sharpay said softly.

"Really?" Troy asked.

"Yeah. On one condition."

"And what is that?" Troy asked.

"If you… let go of my hands!" Sharpay exclaimed. Troy saw that he had his fingers intertwined with hers. Troy let go, blushing ever so slightly.

"I can…can explain." Troy stuttered.

"Whatever. Just make sure you don't do that when we go to my house." Sharpay responded. Troy nodded. "Good. Meet me at my house at four o'clock."

"Okay."

"Well that's settled." Sharpay said to herself.

Ring. Ring.

"Well that's the bell. See ya Sharpay." Troy said.

"Whatever." Sharpay rolled her eyes. She grabbed her books, and walked out of the room, leaving Troy behind.

"So, how are you and Troy doing on your project?" Kelsi asked, as she took a bite of her fries.

"Horrible. We couldn't get anything accomplished. We couldn't even find a topic." Sharpay complained.

"Well here, sis." Ryan handed Sharpay a coffee drink. "A mocha frappucino from Mocha Café."

"Aw, thank you, big brother." Sharpay took a sip of the cool beverage. "Just what I needed."

"I knew you would like it." Ryan said.

"You know me too well." Sharpay told him. "Well I have to go to my locker for a second." Sharpay got up, and walked away, still sipping her drink.

"I feel bad for you." Jason said.

"Yeah, you have to work with the 'Ice Queen.'" Chad responded.

"Well she's not so bad." Troy casually said, as he took a bites of his pizza.

"Not bad?" Chad asked. "Please, we are talking about Sharpay here."

"I know. It's just she's not as bad as we think she is." Troy mumbled.

"Are you starting to fall for her?" Jason asked.

"He's not falling for her, right?" Zeke asked in a jealous tone.

"Of course not." Troy told them. "I am not falling for Sharpay. Guys. Like you said, it's Sharpay we are talking about."

"Are you sure dude?" Chad asked, not convinced.

"Guys. It's just a stupid project. Nothing more." Troy said.

"Okay dude, but here she comes." Chad warned him. Troy turned around, and saw Sharpay walking right past them, sipping a coffee beverage.

"I have to admit, even though she was a bitch to me when we were dating, I never get tired of looking at her." Zeke told his friends.

"You could say that again." Troy thought out loud. His friends gave him a "what the hell did you just say" look.

"I… I'm gonna… go get… another slice." Troy got up, and walked away, leaving behind his friends.

"So much for your plan." Kelsi told Ryan, as she took a sip of her soda.

"Don't worry Kelsi, everything will work out. Trust me," Ran assured her.

"It better." Kelsi said. "Because if Sharpay finds out that we are her Secret Admirer, then… oh, I don't want to find out."

"Don't worry. She won't know. And even f she ever finds out, she will be happy with Troy." he reassured her.

"I hope so. Wait, be quiet, she's coming this way." Kelsi warned Ryan. Ryan nodded. Sharpay sat next to the two.

"I'm back." Sharpay announced.

"What did you get from your locker?" Kelsi asked.

"My sidekick." Sharpay told her. "I can't believe I left it in there. Usually, it's in my purse. I would die if it's not in my purse."

"Aren't you a little to dependent on your phone?' Ryan asked. Sharpay gave him a glare. "Forget I said anything."

"Don't worry, I already did." Sharpay joked.

Ring. Ring.

"That's the bell. Great, I have Mr. Barnesworth next. His class is just a drag." Sharpay whined.

"Sorry to hear that sis. I have Mrs. Smith." Ryan said.

"Lucky you." Sharpay muttered. Ryan and Kelsi laughed.

"So, are you and Troy gonna work at the house?" Ryan asked.

"Yeah, you guys?"

"Ditto." Kelsi said.

"That's cool, well tootles." Sharpay waved, and walked away to her next class.

Ring. Ring.

"Thank God school is over." Sharpay said to herself. She got up, and walked to her locker. She grabbed the books she needed, and headed out the door and to her car. She drove in her sports cars, when her phone rang.

"Hello."

"Sharpay?"

"Troy? How did you get my number?"

"I asked Kelsi for it."

"Oh, well, what do you want?"

"I just called you to tell you I am on my way to your house, okay?"

"Okay, but how did you get my address… wait, let me guess. Kelsi gave it to you."

"No. Ryan did."

"Oh, well I gotta hang up. See ya."

"See ya." Sharpay hung up the hone, and pulled to her driveway. She got out of the car, and opened her door.

"Kelsi! Ryan, are you guys home!" Sharpay shouted.

"Yeah, we're upstairs." Ryan called out. Sharpay walked up the stairs, and towards Ryan's room.

"Hey guys." Sharpay greeted them.

"Hey Shar." Kelsi and Ryan said to her.

"So, what are you guys doing your project on?" Sharpay asked.

"Oh, we are going to do our project on whether or not soil is a type of electrical system." Kelsi explained.

"That sounds complicating." Sharpay comments.

"Not really. We're just going to be able to prove that is soil functions can indeed an electrical system. You see, the trick is…" but Sharpay cut off Kelsi.

"Sorry, Kelsi. Lost interest."

"Don't worry. So did Ryan." Kelsi said, pointing to Ryan on his bed, listening to his Ipod. "Ryan, for the last time, I am not going to do this whole project by myself." Kelsi told Ryan.

"Calm down. I am getting my inspiration." Ryan said. Kelsi turned to Sharpay.

"You see what I have to work with." Kelsi told Sharpay. She laughed.

"Well at least you don't have to work with a lumphead basketball player." Sharpay retorted.

"Shar, just give him a chance. I'm sure you won't mind him after this." Kelsi smiled at her. Sharpay rolled her eyes.

"Whatever. I'm gonna go change, before he gets here."

"You see, you're gonna get all dolled up for him." Kelsi teased.

"Shut up." Sharpay walked to her room, getting ready for a certain lumphead basketball player.

Troy parked in the Evan's driveway. He checked a mirror, fixing his hair and shirt. He went home to take a shower, and change. "Wait a minute. Why am I acting this way, it's Sharpay, remember? I am just here to work on a stupid project." he told himself. He grabbed a mint from his pocket, and stuffed it in his mouth. After all, he didn't want to have bad breath. He got out of his car and walked toward the Evan's doorstep. He rang the doorbell.

"Coming." a voice shouted. He took a deep breath.

The door opened, revealing Sharpay in light blue shirts, and a pain white skirt. Her hair was in a ponytail, and she was wearing a very light layer of make-up, complimenting her features. She was breathtaking. "Hello Bolton." she said.

"Um… um… hi." Troy stuttered. Sharpay just rolled her eyes.

"Follow me." she ordered. She walked up the stairs, Troy following her. He managed to get a look of the living room, and kitchen. Both room were immaculate, and looked like they came from a catalogue or showroom. Sharpay led him to a large room. "This is my room." Troy looked around. The walls were painted in light blue, the furniture in white. Sharpay walked to her bed and sat on it.

"So this is where Sharpay Evans sleeps." Troy commented, still looking around. He then looked at her. "Not bad." he gave her one of his boyish smiles. Sharpay blushed.

"Thanks." she muttered. She then caught herself blushing and she got up. "I'm gonna go get some water. Do you want anything?" Sharpay asked.

"Water's fine." Troy said.

"Okay." Sharpay left the room, leaving Troy alone. He smiled to himself. "I just made the 'Ice Queen' blush. Wait a minute. I don't like her. Remember, I am here to do a stupid project. Not hook up with Sharpay. Although I wouldn't m…Stop it, Troy. Stop thinking about that!" He took a deep breath. He began to look around. He opened a drawer, and grinned, "Looks like I found the 'Ice Queen's' underwear drawer." Troy rummaged through the drawer, until he found a black bra and panty set. He pulled it out of the drawer and looked at them.

"I would appreciate it if you put them down." a voice told him. He turned around. Sharpay was by the door, holding two glasses of water. Troy stuffed the lingerie in the drawer and closed it.

"I… I …can ex…. plain…" Troy stuttered.

"I get it Troy. You're a guy. I know you men can't keep your hormones locked up." she stated. "Here's your water." Sharpay handed him the glass of water. She sat on the floor.

"I'm sorry for invading your privacy." Troy apologized.

"Apology accepted. Now, let's start working on our project." Troy sat down next to her. Sharpay pulled out papers from her book bag. "During free period, I went to the library to do some research."

"You went to the library." Troy asked. "Aren't you usually in the auditorium."

"Well this is important. As I was saying, I think we should do our project on the different methods of purifying water." Sharpay suggested.

"That's good. And there are?"

"Bolton, you don't pay attention in class, do you?"

"I do."

"Well then you should know that we learned that two months ago." Sharpay retorted.

"Oh. Well I forgot."

"Such a small brain." Sharpay muttered.

"I heard that." Troy said.

"Good. Because you don't what the hell I am talking about, I will explain to you. In our project, we will examine different methods of purifying water including distillation, filtration and reverse osmosis." Sharpay explained.

"Oh, I remember that. I got a C on the test." Troy said.

"That's great for you." Sharpay mumbled.

"Listen! I am tired of you belittling me!" Troy shouted.

"I'm surprised you know the word belittle and use it correctly in a sentence."

"There you go again! You're always doing that! I try to be nice to you!"

"Being nice is not invading my underwear drawer."

"I said I was sorry. God." Troy got up, only to trip and floor on the floor.

"Oh my God, Troy! Are you okay?" Sharpay ran toward him. The Troy stared at herm their eyes locked. They stared into each other's eyes for what seemed like a life time.

"Did you just call me Troy?" Troy asked. Sharpay looked away, her face turning a light red.

"Um, no. I said are you okay, Bolton." she said. "So are you?"

"Yeah. I'll live." He got up, Sharpay helping him. Troy noticed Sharpay holding his hand, as he got up. He felt a tingle run through his body. Sharpay felt it too. Sharpay let go.

"Um… I'm glad that you're okay." Sharpay told him.

"Yeah. I should get going. My mom wants me back by 6:30."

"Okay. I'll walk you to the door." The two walked out of room and downstairs. Sharpay opened the door.

"Well, I'm glad we got found our topic." Troy said.

"Yeah. We just got to work on it in class, and it should be a breeze." Sharpay added/

"Well, I gotta go. Bye, Sharpay."

"Bye Tr… Bolton." Troy walked out, looked back and smiled. Sharpay smiled back, only to realize what she was doing. She stopped smiling and closed the door. She sighed. "I can't be falling for him. I am in love with my Secret Admirer… right. Or could Kelsi be right. Could Troy actually be my Secret… No, he can't. He can't be." Sharpay looked out the window from the kitchen, and saw Troy leave the driveway, and drive off to the sunset.

Ryan and Kelsi were standing on top of the stairs, smiling. They saw the whole thing. "You know, Ryan. It looks like they are actually staring to fall for one another." Kelsi whispered.

"I know. And we're not done yet. Come on, let's go to my room, before Sharpay comes up." The two tiptoed to Ryan's room, while Sharpay was still looking out the window. "Maybe he could be. Just maybe."
